The Sweating Sickness

Rebecca Lehmann

Rebecca's Lehmann's The Sweating Sickness contains wide-ranging topics-the suicide of an abusive ex, parenting young children, fairytales, reproductive rights, domestic violence, ghost stories, ancient myth-all set to the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both personal and political, these poems interrogate how we grieve, what it means to be a woman in post-Roe America, and how private and public ghosts can come back to haunt us. Surrealist, maximalist, formal, and with an ear to the underworld, The Sweating Sickness spins the reader into an eco-fabulist wonderland, where anything can happen, and does.
